A Terrible and Awesome Responsibility

What a terrible and awesome responsibility it is to be alive - to live and continue living. We have so much power within us that can be used to ruin or build up the existence of all around us, including ourselves. This power is both outward - physical - and inward -emotional. How do we maintain the theoretical agreement with ourselves and one another that more comes from good than harm? Why do we maintain it? Why do some break it?

The many possible answers range from the biological to the spiritual and all of the subjects in-between, but the result is the same: we societally agree that we have a responsibility to honor this powerful, mysterious, and precious life that has been granted to us. It is both a frightening and marvelous thing to comprehend.

About Me

California born, Washington grown. :) I'm a singing performer, focused in opera, and a voice teacher. My other main passion is writing and I look forward to the chance to pursue it in my future.
I appreciate geek-humor, flowers, jazz, list making, and judgement-free dance parties. I consider myself open-minded, a great listener, and caring friend. I also am a fantastic back massager... that is my fallback career in case singing doesn't seem to work out. :P
